Harnessing green sand for superior steel castings
Today, more and more steel foundries are considering automated green sand moulding to increase their production efficiency, flexibility and quality. Depending on the casting geometry and production volumes, both horizontal and vertical green sand moulding lines may be suitable.
Advantages of using green sand for steel castings
- Efficient, flexible solutions from well under 100 right up to 555 moulds per hour
- Quick and easy pattern changes take less than two minutes, making them ideal for short runs
- Extensive automation requires only a minimal workforce
- Constant sand/metal ratio due to flaskless moulding
- Normally only one set of pattern plates is needed, even for high production volumes
